'WALKING THE TALK' and enhancing Sustainable Management in the UN

The Environment Management Group (EMG) is a United Nations (UN) System-wide coordination body. Its Membership consists of the specialized agencies, programmes and organs of the United Nations including the secretariats of the Multilateral Environmental Agreements. It is chaired by the Executive Director of United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and supported by a secretariat provided by UNEP.

The EMG furthers inter-agency Cooperation in support of the implementation of the international environmental and human settlement agenda. It identifies issues on the agenda that warrant joint efforts, and finds ways of engaging its collective capacity in coherent management responses to those issues. The current issues under consideration by the group include: IMG on Land, IMG on Biodiversity, IMG on Green Economy, IMG on Sustainability Management, Inputs for International and Environment Governance (IEG) and the EMG Consultative Process on Environmental and Social Safeguards.
